    I guess she never read “Thrasher” magazine. They were using that phrase well before the song.

        Hes right though, Practice abortions are the best way to ensure women arent nervous and afraid when it comes to the real thing!

        Its no different than doing practice exams, mock job interviews, etc.

          I still picture the headline “Laura Bush noisily devours infant” from time to time and that had to be from an onion (probably a physical one) from around 2005.

            You got downvoted, presumably by someone who thinks it’s not obviously a joke, which I find both hilarious and sad.

      People out of touch with reality often think they are trend-setters, when they’re usually years, if not decades, behind the times.

      It depends on when they became rich or famous.

        We also don’t know when this quote came out. After years and years of being asked about the same song you have to say something. Maybe she did worry for an afternoon or a day, and now she just needed a story. People are voracious.

          We do know. Despite what the sibling poster said, it came out 2015, May 26. It’s a fake quote but we do know when it was released!

          We actually do, the answer is “never”. It’s from a satire site called Clickhole. She never said this.

    It was a new and original song that didn’t plagiarise at all…

    For the record, I still love this song.

      If this video is supposed to be saying it wasn’t original and plagiarized all these songs, then the person who made it is an idiot and knows very little about music. Like this is made by an edgy 12 year old or possibly even an AI.

      It straight up just includes a cover.
